We would like to gratefully thank all of our friends and vendors who continually support our show and bless us with so much love and abundance. You are the ones who give "life" to our show and make it magical and inspiring. Knowing that you love what you do makes it all worth the time and energy Celia and I spend getting ready for this event. We are already looking forward to next year's show. Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts! xo Glad & Celia

﻿ We met Cassidy a few months back, she was a referral from Jennifer from The Trellis Market. From the moment we met...we loved her!

She started telling us about her love of vintage, and all the vintage inspired weddings she had attended, and the accents she was creating for her special day....all the things we love! We knew this was a lady we were going to love working with! Can't wait to share some amazing photos of Brandon and Cassidy's wedding day!!

A vintage umbrellla and the perfect color to greet the guests as they entered the gardens.

Denny Wuesthoff created the chalkboard signs.

﻿

Loved that the guest's tie matched their wedding colors....so thoughtful!

﻿

﻿

We added a bird nest to the top of her cake....

﻿﻿

Her day was filled with ruffles & more ruffles... hundreds of handmade paper flowers were everywhere.

﻿

﻿

We were happy to be able to bring a dozen beautiful trees to give a glow to the barn....loved it!

The Mad Hatter Vintage Flea Market takes place every year in the early fall....our favorite time of the year and it is always so much fun....but, this year it was at it's best, and full of so many wonderful collections of vintage inspiration for the Home and Garden!

The historic Five Mile Prairie Grange comes alive once again filled with wonderful vintage finds, collectibles, and furnishings in a charmingly decorated storybook setting.

Hollie Eastman ~ Hollie was one of our first friends we met in the vintage world. She is a jewel in our crown, we hold her very close to our heart! You can find Hollie at 'holly joy in the morning. blogspot.com.' Please tell her Glad & Celia sent you :)

Erin and Gracie Campbell ~ Ladybird
Among our many blessings, Erin has given us her thoughtfulness, passion, generosity and warmth! Thank you.....you are a sweetheart!

Thinking about our very first Mad Hatter event that was held in this little yellow grange four years ago, it is amazing to us that we have grown from seventeen to thirty vendors, and still have a little room to grow. We feel our vendors/artists are truly the very best in the Northwest..... we can honestly say....we love and appreciate all of them and treasure the gift of their friendship. Our Mad Hatter Event is a special time of year for us.....first it is our favorite time of the year, second it is a time we get to spend with our friends. Our show has become a ritual of friendship, that is very important to us, all of friendships we have made along this journey we will keep, and cherish forever.....a friend gave me a card years ago and it read, "our friends bestow grace and perform miracles, God speaks to us through our intimate chats we have with one another....our conversations, our friends listen to us, and we listen unconditionally and we are committed to each others happiness."I believe this with my whole heart!

I hope you can see the love in these photos. What an amazing circle of friends, I love how we draw close to those we love. This is were we feel rooted, such an important need for our soul...... Now let the show begin!

There were customers and happy, happy, happy, shoppers! We have received many emails with words of encouragement and thanking us for all the great shopping and the great prices all the vendors were offering!

Things we love and some of the amazing booths!!
